Sara Pérez y René Barbier - Partida Pedrer 2014
Venus la Universal is a project initiated by Sara Pérez from Mas Martinet and René Barbier Junior from Clos Mogador. In 2001, René Barbier Junior had the opportunity to purchase a small vineyard of old, steep, traditional vines called Els Bellvisos, in Priorat, Spain. This vineyard had been abandoned and sits right in the middle of a steep grove of holm oaks. With Sara, they put the vineyard back into production. Today, there are more than 10 hectares to maintain and work under agro-ecological guidelines. Some of the grapes come from the purchase from wine growers with whom they have very close relations and who follow the same philosophy and working method.
Partida Pedrer is included in Bellvisos: this plot faces north and allows them to harvest Grenache and Monastrell grapes which reflect the freshness of the shaded mountain side and the warmth of the morning sun. The wine is made from Garnatxa Negra, in whole bunch and crushed after a long period of skin maceration. It is aged in terracotta jars.
Grape variety: 100% Garnatxa Negra
